What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You able to DIY? I don’t have jack stands anything like that.

 

Nice rig! You'll love the tacoma! I'm on my third taco and 5th Yota. I started with a 91 pickup.

 

@Tullie D for the win!!

 

What are you?

 

Truck looks nice. I have a white sport also. What size falkens? Any spacers?

 

Very cool, been trying to figure out who made the shackle mount...just ordered the demon mounts and inferno shackles from Amazon...THANKS!

 

Absolutely.. I actually used the jack that came with the truck for some extra room, but even that wasn't really needed.

I'm fortunate enough to have a neighbor with a torque wrench. If you don't have that, just get them as tight as you can, and check that they haven't walked out after a drive around the block.

 

Welcome to TW. That is a beautiful truck! If you are at all curious what it would look like with predator steps, then here is a picture of mine to show you.

 

Stickers! Every kids loves stickers

never mind I am almost 49 yrs old. Matte black over the chrome emblems, and had “TRD” in red made for the center caps of my new Level 8 wheels

 

Not technically a 3rd Gen but I did see an alpha rack on a Ford Flex at upTOP on Friday.

 

looking at your falkens and I’m torn. How old are they? They appear to smooth out on the sidewall losing that aggressive look. Some I see must be new where the scoops are more defined?

 

Some will disagree, and some will have stories about how they've never had a reused ubolt fail, but it's not a great idea to reuse ubolts (or work on a lifted vehicle without jackstands, or use aluminum pinion angle shims). New ubolts aren't that expensive.

I am not affiliated with this company, but it is a nice summary of why you should use new ubolts.

 

Totally. Pretty sad when my old 40 series has the same set-up in the back as my 2020. haha

 

So why is Toyota not doing disc on the rear?
Same set up as my 1985 SR5
WHY

 

B 787 MP May 1990, then again as a drill sergeant in 1999.

 

Its part of 14th MP BDE at FLW now.

 

Lol! Like the saying goes, “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”.

 

Only three weeks old. I wanted Nitto Ridge Grapplers which do look more aggressive but the whole country has them on backorder. So says Discount Tire Direct where I bought the wheel/tire package.

Reviews on the Falkens are favorable and the price was right.

 

ha yes it will be for sale soon! I also have a brand new set of jba uca that will go with it

 

So I took out my USB plug moved it behind the dash to run my charging cable out of sight next to my DMM (clean look). I had hoped the regular covers made by @MESO would fill in the hole but it’s a different size. Anyone have suggestions on something to fill the hole left by my USB connector?
